‘Glowing with Light’ – 2025.09.07

Later this month, I’ll be heading to Naniamo BC for the annual conference of the Fibre Art Network. 

As usual, we will have an artwork exchange. Everyone attending is invited to bring a piece for the art exchange. The artworks are displayed during the conference, and each participant receives a piece to take home. It’s a fun and random selection the first evening of the conference.

The theme this year is “Gathering Light: This could be as simple as shining a light on your current art practices or using “light” as the subject of the piece.”

Here is my piece, called ‘Glowing with Light‘. It is 7.5 x 13 inches.

I used a photo I took in 2020 at VanDusen Botanical Garden in Vancouver. The sun was shining that day, and all the fall foliage was glowing.

I printed the photo on fabric and quilted it.

My artist statement: ‘On sunny days, Autumn leaves appear to be lit from within. They glow in the sunlight and seem to hold the sun’s warmth.’

Thanks for stopping by.

I’m linking up with Nina-Marie’s Off the Wall Friday, where you’ll find many other creative and inspirational projects.
